Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Here, I got this sent to me so Im passing it straight on to you blokes because I know you all care, and so do I.....




I know the pic is big, and the right hand side is abit cut off but you guys will get the gist of it and Im sure you'll all be quick to get the 2007 model without the airbags so you can all bodylift them before the airbagged equipped 2008 models come out.

Should be some awesome rigs coming out, with the wider track and big v8

ENJOY!

that was good news till i saw the pictur of the wagon.......what a bloody ugly truck

the ute will no doubt fly off the floor though

ps: i never doubted you

220 kW and 580 Nm

I can't wait to see these things on the road, and seeing as how the next version of the 100 series (130 series) will have independent suspension, then the new troopy may be the offroaders choice for series work. Does anybody know a rough date for their release?

And that picture above is of the previous version - not the new version thankfully.

AWESOME

TOPS

I WANT THREE




SO MANY EMOTIONS, I'M SO HAPPY AND DRUNK

AND A SOLID FRONT AXLE

Hopefully it'll look more like this (with a little less bling!);


instead of the sad looking prado pictured in the article.

I'm excited!

G'day all,

Me again here, and I got some more information for all of you regarding the cruiser and others. Spoke to a bloke at work today who's pretty high up in Toyota Marketing and he told me the following:

The new V8 Landcruiser has achieved a fuel economy of 9 litres per 100km in testing and the release date has been pushed back till late 2007.

The new (updated) Prado will be released this year in November and will have the D4D turbo-diesel but an updated version than the current hilux version that will be 10kW more powerful and have 20nM more torque.

The Hilux will also get this same engine (Im assuming to keep up the competitions turbo-diesels and therefore an update on the hilux looks like it's in this works too).

Don't forget that even thou the power increase on the new D4D isn't that much, I bet ya it's the way it delivers it that will make the difference. Say for example it delivers peak torque at 400-550rpm lower, now wouldn't that be awesome for towing or 4x4'ing?

Will keep you all in the know as soon as I get more info and hopefully as I will get to be one of the first places that gets to see new models will take some happy snaps for you all.

See-ya!

The article above says they will continue with independent and live axle suspension

mmaaxx must be well down at the bottom of the pecking order

Gotoy,

Yeah, I am well down the pecking order and I admit it, but I get the opportunity to speak to people who are well up the pecking order.

Whats with the sarcasm?

Im passing on quality info here that might be interesting to some people if it isn't for you.

As they say "If you can't say something nice, don't say nothing at all"

mmaaxx IS right down at the bottom of the pecking order

oh, and learn to quote

mmaaxx: thanks for the info, some of us appreciate it.

Heres a link I found boys to a Noweigian site that has a black and white picture of a "possible" 130 series.

http://www.nlck.no/modules.php?name=New ... cle&sid=28

looks a loy softer than current one, sorta like a big rav4 on steroids.

take a look

Hi Gaytoy. Mmaaxx shared some info for us all to enjoy which is apprectiated. You brought us sarcasm and irritation and nothing of any use here. Get a life, you suck.

Yeah - but the troopie bit says 'suspension will continue as the proven live-axle coil spring front/leaf spring rear. With that kinda setup, 220 kW, 580 Nm, an increase in the width to fit the V8 in and also increase stability, plus the addition of 2 extra doors & forward facing seats, the troopy is going to be one serious force to be reckoned with.

Need a second martgage to afford a new one I reckon!

yeah i know

whats a new one worth now? i suppose they'll be another 5k or more on top.

you would hope that with the extra mumbo they'd have larger CV's, in which case i'll be right there to get a new set of diffs from a wrecked one

Toyotas V8 Diesel engine is up and going. Have seen quite a few prado and lexus models sporting a V8 D at the rear.

Are they really going to put it in a 70Series?

Dont know of any Prado V8, diesel or otherwise, nor Lexus V8 diesels? in fact I thought all Lexus Cruisers were petrol 4.7?
Feel free to correct me if wrong?
Perhaps you are even lower in the pecking order? or I am if wrong!

Release dates have been further postponed to end of next year and the Prado update has been moved from November this year till April next year for now. Sorry, but no word on Hilux update yet. will keep you posted thou.

The Toyota Cygnus is identical to the LX470 sold in australia. Its just a 100 series landcruiser with the lexus front and rear with toyota badges. Seems a bit roundabout to us here in Oz. And its a 4.7ltr petrol V8. Definately not a Deisel

Hey mmaxx. How true is this about the new Prado diesel being delayed. I have saleman say prices will be out this week and first delivery by the end of the month.

Im looking forward to driving a new turbo diesel intercooled auto around

charterboat,

Your salesman is talking crap and trying to get your deposit money off you and to reserve a sale so he can get a point next to his name on the sales record chart in his office.

Where I work, we get all the launch cars of any toyota model before they are released, and after we prepare them they then go out to all the dealerships for display for the launch.

The last 3 weeks we have been flate out preparing Aurions for every dealership in Australia. So if a Prado update was to come along, mark my words, I would be one of the first in Australia to see it after the marketing and engineering guys 'suss' it out. And there hasn't been one yet, I'd let this forum know the very same day if I saw one.

Thankyou
